Mojang said:

“We are currently still preparing work for the mod API. The API is going to take some time to implement properly, so we ask for patience. Also, Jon is currently working on improving the AI for mobs to make it easier for us to add new behaviors. The first goal is to add breeding support to wolves, and then move on to more useful / interesting villagers.”

Notch Passes The Torch

Notch stated on his blog that Jens “Jeb” Bergensten will now be the Lead Developer for Minecraft, going forward. This gives Jeb final say in all design decisions, though Notch jokingly added that he made him “promise to not pull rank.” Notch cites personal time and additional projects as reasons for his stepping down, but makes it a point to say that he will still be involved in Minecraft development.

Notch and Jeb have collaborated on Minecraft development for over a year, and Notch has expressed the utmost confidence in his collaborator’s capabilities. You can contact Jeb via e-mail (at jeb@mojang.com), or on Twitter. Congratulations, Jeb!
